You can get a price for any product, plaques, headstone, or urns, by clicking on the design your own button which is featured below the product image. This will take you to the Design Your Own Program created by Forever Shining. There are step-by-step instructions allowing you to select your size, inscription, and font, and also add an image and at any time you can click check price. You can go back to your design and edit changing the size for example and the price will change accordingly. So each item added to your design is priced and will be viewable in the check price section. The check price section will give you a breakdown of your design and how much each part costs to help you get the exact amount for payment. For example, a headstone with a traditional sandblasted inscription is charged per letter and size. The check price section will show you the quantity and size of the inscription, and then the price per letter.
The price varies dependent on the type and size of the product required, together with the type, quantity, and size of adornments.
Hence, it is impossible to give an exact price for a product without knowing exactly what is required.
We have developed a system whereby our customers can click on a “Check Price” button in the design section of our website and obtain an itemized price for their personalized design at that particular stage of development.

PayPal offers Buyer Protection against purchasing fraud. When payments are made via PayPal, we do not see the card number that makes the purchase.

International Customers
You will know if a company has a high level of credibility with the type of customers it has. Local customers cement the company in its own territory, but international customers establish it on a global scale. More types of clients are involved here. This is how well that company provides its products and services.
International customers help companies build a long client list. They also provide important information to the companies that cater to them, in terms of preferences and common materials. This allows the company to put more effort into developing its mode of reach to potential customers.
We, at Forever Shining, make sure that we cater to our international clients. If you’re one of them, you can always place your order through our website. The design section of each product has detailed quotes.
The prices you see on the site will have a 10% deduction because of the Australian GST removal. The removal of the Australian GST is for specific products ordered by international customers. International freight charges will then be added to the designated prices. If you need a clear and more individualized computation of your order, you can always email us. This way, you can determine your individual freight cost.
Use any of the approved payment methods on our site. Once your payment is clear, we will start processing your order. Remember that full payment is a requirement for international orders.
We can provide you with details of how you can get items shipped internationally from us. Do note that all customs duties, taxes and shipping charges for larger items are not included in the price of items that are to be shipped internationally. Contact us via email if you wish to find out more about getting your memorial shipped to any country outside of Australia.
The delivery of products takes time and patience. With our hands-on techniques, we make sure that your items are made to the highest of standards.

You might be ordering something with which to remember a loved one for the foreseeable future, or perhaps you are going to far as to create a plaque from granite.
Motifs are also one of our specialties as you can not only choose the type of shape, but also the colour of the glass. One of our most popular, of course, has been the two-colour motif. We have many different options, all of which are designed to fit a different occasion. With all of this available to you however the one big underlying question is going to be how much it all costs.
We have two great methods of price checking when it comes to your motif or memorial, the first being to ‘check as you design’ tool. Unlike many other memorial sites, we offer you the opportunity to use a tool that easily fabricates your idea memorial, and during the design process, you can check the price to ensure you are not going above and beyond your means. In addition to that, you can always contact us, which is helpful if you are planning to order something not on the page, or something a bit larger than what we normally handle.
